Used 2015 Ford Fusion SE for sale 

The 2015 Fusion continues to be offered in three trims, with the base S trim getting all the necessities and the top-spec Titanium trim featuring all the bells and whistles alongside the powerful turbocharged engine. Except for the base S trim, AWD is available on both the SE and Titanium trims as an option. 

We Recommend

The SE trim costs only marginally more than the base S trim and adds a decent amount of fitments which adds value to the car, and since the top Titanium trim gets pretty expensive, the SE trim should be the preferred choice.

The Ford Fusion is powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine which produces 175 hp and 175 lb-ft of torque. The top-spec Titanium trim employs a more powerful 2.0-liter turbocharged engine rated for 231 hp and 270 lb-ft, and both these engines come mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission.

The power is sent to the front wheels as standard with an option for an all-wheel-drive setup. The performance from the base engine is lackluster and enthusiast buyers would prefer the peppy turbocharged engine.

The Ford Fusion with its base engine isn’t a performer and is the slowest one in this comparison, while all the other three cars, the Chevy Malibu, the Honda Accord, and the Toyota Camry, are all evenly matched in the performance front. The prices are pretty neck-and-neck too for all the cars here which makes the competition stiffer.

Ford’s Fusion has improved in terms of efficiency over the years but it still does not match up to the high standards set by its rivals. The EPA rates the base engine for 22 mpg of city driving and 34 mpg of highway cruising, whereas the combined city and highway driving is rated for 26 mpg. Even the turbocharged engine isn’t as frugal as one would expect it to be and offers a similar fuel efficiency as that of the base engine.

The Honda Accord is powered by the most frugal engine in this segment and no other car is a match to it. The Chevrolet Malibu and the Toyota Camry have similar fuel economy figures on offer while the Fusion has the highest fuel consumption here. The Accord also employs the largest gas tank in this comparison which translates to a class-leading driving range.

The interior of the Ford Fusion employs high-quality materials, nicely textured surfaces, and decluttered cabin layout provides an executive and urbane look to the cabin.

The rear seat does not offer great headroom due to the sloping roofline of the car but the front seat is mounted high enough to accommodate the feet of the rear seat passengers while also providing good views for the driver, although the rearward view isn’t the greatest. 

The new Ford Fusion offers the most spacious front seat in this comparison and also has plenty of legroom for the rear seat occupants while also providing a large trunk to carry all their luggage. The Chevy Malibu offers a marginally larger trunk but compromises on rear-seat space. Both the Accord and the Camry have a similar cabin and trunk space.

How is the 2015 Ford Fusion Sedan’s infotainment system?

The MyFord Touch interface is pretty powerful and gets redundant voice commands to make accessing and configuring different aspects of the car pretty easy while on the move.

And although the 8-inch touchscreen looks gorgeous, there is a steep learning curve to the interface and the responsiveness isn’t up to the mark and can even miss registering the touches altogether. 

• 8.0-inch MyFord Touch infotainment system
• 12-speaker Sony premium audio system
• HD Radio
• SiriusXM Satellite Radio w/6-month prepaid subscription
• GPS based turn-by-turn driving directions
• 911 assist and Voice Activation
• Bluetooth phone connectivity and audio streaming

Similar to the interior, the exterior offers a modern, executive, and urbane look and the car looks pretty striking in this latest generation avatar.

The sleek and mean-looking headlamps with the bold and flat nose grille look menacing while the smooth and strong flowing lines complement the intricately designed alloy wheels which up the ante in the styling department. 

The Ford Fusion offers the longest wheelbase amongst the cars present here, which helps in opening up all that interior cabin space. The Toyota Camry has the highest ground clearance on offer while all the other three have a similar ride height, with the Fusion riding closest to the ground. Other than that, there is hardly anything to separate all the cars in terms of dimensions.

• Fully Automatic Projector Beam Halogen Daytime Running Headlamps w/Delay-Off
• LED Brakelights
• Chrome Grille, Door Handles, and Side Windows Trim
• Wing Spoiler
• Power Heated Side Mirrors w/Driver Auto Dimming, Convex Spotter, and Turn Signal Indicator
• 18-inch Polished Aluminum Wheels

Ford does not compromise the safety aspect of their cars, offering class-leading safety standards on almost all their products and the 2015 Fusion is no exception. The NHTSA has rated the car with a perfect 5-star overall rating while it bags the ‘Top Safety Pick’ accolade in the crash test conducted by the IIHS. There is plenty of safety tech on offer with the Fusion, some of them are listed below. 

• AdvanceTrac Electronic Stability Control (ESC) And Driveline Traction Control
• Rear Parking Sensors w/Back-Up Camera
• Low Tire Pressure Warning
• Mykey System
• Dual Stage Driver And Passenger Front and Seat-Mounted Side Airbags
• Curtain 1st And 2nd Row Airbags
• Airbag Occupancy Sensor

The Ford Fusion offers a mixed bag experience in the midsize sedan segment as it does not have the performance or the frugality to match up to the segment’s best, but also offers the largest and the most spacious cabin and trunk. There are plenty of safety features and technology on offer but the MyFord Touch system isn’t the most intuitive as well. Overall, the Fusion does offer good value for money but the rivals offer a more rounded package at a marginally higher price.
